Earth vs. The Giant Spider: Amazingly True Stories of Real Penetration Tests

Rob Havelt, Director of Penetration Testing at Trustwave SpiderLabs
True Stories of Real Pen Tests - Featuring demos of complex hacks and how business systems can be used against an organization.

Earth vs. the Giant Spider: Amazingly True Stories of Real Pen-Tests brings the audience the most massive collection of weird, downright freaky, and altogether unlikely hacks ever seen in the wild. Through stories and demonstrations, we will take the audience into a bizarre world where odd business logic flaws get you almost free food (including home shipping), sourcing traffic from port 0 allows ownership of the finances a nation, and security systems are used to hack organizations.

This talk will focus on:
•Complex hacks found in real environments
•Showing effective attacks not found with automated methods
•Types of victim organizations and data accessed

By the end of this presentation we hope to have the audience thinking differently about systems and applications that organizations use every day, and how they may be used against them.

  • Emerging Threats: Trends in Malware Design - Research from Trustwave SpiderLabs Recorded: Dec 6 2012 46 mins
    Malware comes in all shapes and sizes. Some malware is mass-distributed while other malicious software is purpose-built to target specific data or businesses.

    And malware developers are continually “improving” their product - through propagation complexity, control channels, anti-forensic techniques and data exporting properties.

    Presented by John Miller, research manager for Trustwave SpiderLabs, this talk covers the evolution of malware as it adapts to today’s computing environments. Learn about:

    •How attackers are adapting malware
    •Common and targeted malware trends
    •Key methods to prevent attacks

    You’ll gain detailed insight into today’s leading malware research and information on how to build a better overall security posture.
  • The Honeymoon’s Over: Living with Your Application Pen Test Results Recorded: Nov 15 2012 52 mins
    Like everyone else, you know that application penetration tests are a critical part of any reasonable security program. So you setup a bake-off and find a qualified security company to test your applications. Things are going well and you start to see results show up in the reporting portal (or, if it’s still 2005, you get PDF reports).

    But identifying vulnerabilities is only half the battle. Once you know where your problems are, what do you do next? Schedule fixes for the next code deployment? Create virtual patches? What about long-term solutions?

    Find out what you can expect from an application penetration test, and what to do with the results in this hour-long session led by Trustwave SpiderLabs experts Charles Henderson, Director of Application Security Services, and Ryan Barnett, Lead Security Researcher.

    You’ll gain insight into:
    •Common and serious vulnerabilities uncovered by testing
    •Immediate tactical responses to remediation
    •Long-term strategic initiatives to improve application security

    You’ll walk away with actionable information on how to take full advantage of an application penetration test to strengthen application security throughout your organization.

  • My Scan Found What? Top 5 Weaknesses Uncovered with Vulnerability Scanning Recorded: Jun 26 2012 64 mins
    Vulnerability scanning is a necessary tool for validating compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), but more importantly this process can help to identify where weaknesses exist across your network, computers and applications. When treated as a "snapshot" of a network from the outside (think attacker's) point-of-view, this technology can become much more valuable.

    To help organizations better manage vulnerabilities and pass scans for compliance, this webinar highlights the top 5 weaknesses that vulnerability scanning most often finds.

    During this presentation, we'll cover:
    •Benefits of enterprise vulnerability management
    •The types of vulnerabilities seen most often
    •How to fix serious issues and get the most value from scans
    •Remediation do's and don'ts for items that crop up

    Join us for this live webinar and gain expert guidance based on experience gathered from thousands of tests.
  • Take Action: Best Practices to Protect Against Targeted Malware Attacks Recorded: Jun 7 2012 56 mins
    Based on investigations conducted by Trustwave SpiderLabs, only 12% of targeted malware was detected by traditional anti-virus solutions in 2011. Targeted attacks are highly successful because they focus on specific organizations and are crafted to elude traditional point product security controls, including anti-virus. Protecting against such targeted attacks – on top of everything else – requires you to be as innovative as the hackers.

    Get insights on how to innovate your security from Wendy Nather, analyst with 451 Research, and Manu Namboodiri, vice president of product marketing, Trustwave. Learn:

    - Where you may be vulnerable to targeted attacks and persistent threats from malware
    - Best practices based on preventing intrusion, propagation, vulnerabilities and data exfiltration
    - How Trustwave unifies Web, email and network security solutions to detect, block, isolate and prevent targeted attacks

    •Identify your responsibilities as a merchant
    •Know how to get started

    This webinar will be useful for anyone beginning the compliance process or looking to better understand the PCI DSS.
  • Speaking with Cryptographic Oracles Recorded: Mar 27 2012 60 mins
    Cryptography is often used to secure data, but few people have a solid understanding of it. Even for cryptographers, it is still easy to make mistakes. The algorithms might be peer-reviewed and unbroken for years, but if used incorrectly, they can still leak information.

    Cryptographic oracles are systems which take user-controlled input and leak part or all of the output, generally leading to an attacker being able to defeat the cryptography, in part or in whole. This lecture will:
    • Define encryption, decryption, and padding oracles
    • Explain why an unbroken algorithm doesn’t matter
    • Describe how to find cryptographic oracles
    • Explore the ways in which oracles can be used to mount attacks
  • 2012 Global Security Threats and Trends Recorded: Feb 9 2012 63 mins
